It was only a year ago that we were horrified watching it happen in Iran.

It’s a great store. Also Hazel’s in Port William. Have you been there?

I keep thinking about this image and getting Enron flashbacks.

My brother is running a half-marathon to raise money for sick kids. If you know Barry you’ll know how much he hates running.

Having been goaded into it by @maxrushden.bsky.social, I am doing the London Landmarks half-marathon in April for Great Ormond Street Children's Charity. I am 52, overweight, hideously unfit and I hate running. Please donate, if you can spare a few quid ...

The Behind the Bastard podcasts on him are brilliant.

He’s a complete loony toon this one. Obsessed with ideas of Armageddon. Probably not drug-induced psychosis at all.

Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: “It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money.”

You will be grand, it’s not a linear process.

I was told I had arthritis in my knees and then one day the pain stopped and never came back. That’s when I started researching ‘the change’, get a good book on it.

Weird knee pain is an early sign of perimenopause just saying.

It looks like one. Amazing to see.

My mother in law always responded really well to music from when she went dancing. It’s a really important connector.

Questions I ponder of a morning.

Why is he always glistening?

Normally you look at ppl’s hands to see how much work they’ve done to their face but here, the skin on his hands is softer than on his face and neck.

Not as much, I try to keep up with what’s new, but I have started sprinkling album tracks from some of the bands I liked into playlists so they trigger memories. It’s fun.

I’m in a music chat group and the album that defined my 16th year came up as an aside tonight.

The Cure, The Head on the Door.

Forty years ago.
Forty frigging years.
It has aged well.
Like myself ❤️😂

I know you didn’t. ❤️

You can get cheaper if you look around.

I pay the extra because I am old and greying now and I want someone with twenty years experience cutting my unruly coarse hair. (And rubbing my head).

Lorraine @ihearthestia.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you for saying this out loud.

Lorraine @ihearthestia.bsky.social · 2d

I go to Jaime in Spirit. She is excellent at cutting/ thinning out long, thick hair.

She doesn’t use any product in mine and it always looks great.

She gives great head massages and is pretty reasonable for a downtown stylist.
